Thanks, I agree with you both. Never seen pumps with these before and I've had a few 1.9TD over the years. I've managed to get the lowest and most accessible dome headed bolt out with grips and effort. Gives me hope for the others although they are in such difficult locations I expect I'll be taking risks with the grinder and a cutting disc soon. All the bolts will have to be replaced so that's my next internet trawl session booked. I'll let you know how it goes.

- My Cars: Renault 16 - my first car bought secondhand in 1980. Lasted a couple of months before dreadful rust brought it to an end.
Renault 18 estate petrol. Bought in 1981. only new car I've ever owned and only because it was tax free to Forces in Germany. Lasted 18 months before accident write off.
Renault 18 saloon petrol. bought in 1988. lasted 3 years before accident and repair cost ended it.
Xantia Esate TD. Bought in 2006. First Citroen and bought because of the suspension and potential to run on veg oil. Apart from a stint owning a doomed C5 estate I've owned nothing but Xantia TD saloons and estates since. All have Bosch pumps so veg oil since 2006 for me. - x 3

Just in case it's any help, in the Members Area > Resources you'll find a Bosch document covering the construction and working of the range of VE type axial injection pumps. Contains servicing details too.
